St.Joseph's Day Tabloid Sports



Tuesday 19th March was St Joseph’s Day Feast Day. The whole school attended mass to celebrate the leadership Saint Joseph showed. Saint Joseph is also special to our school because Saint MacKillop and the Sisters of St Joseph were inspired by Saint Joseph. Saint Joseph is also the foster father of Jesus. The following day, the whole school came together to celebrate with fun tabloid sports in our houses. We all got to play so many fun and exciting games. Thank you to our leaders who prepared this.

My Accident Story.



A Little Boost, a Broken Thumb

By: Miriam

February 2019


I am learning to entertain my audience with a recount.

Have you ever had a major accident? Was it as small as a cut or as sore as a broken bone? Well I have a very funny story about the day I broke a thumb. Yes I actually broke a thumb. This day started out with a normal everyday family bike ride to the park, my dad led the pack while my brother and I followed closely.

“Keep up you slow coach,” My brother called out to be me as he overtook me on his bike, showing off. I gripped the handle bars tighter, pushed down on the pedals as I tried to go faster to over take him. That’s when Dad interrupted, “It’s time to go home!”

Pulling up next to Dad at the top of a giant hill watching my brother go down cautiously, I thought this time I would beat him down the hill. That's when my plan came into action. I asked dad to give me a boost, this way I could beat him.


Dad pushed be from behind, I started to fly down the hill, going faster and faster. I flew past my brother, uh oh… maybe I was going too fast. I felt the handlebars began to shake, pulling my hands as it wobbled. At this point I was aware that if the handle bars were wobbling the front wheel would be wobbling too. I lost control and steered myself into the kerb crashing down to the ground, my body landing on my hand followed by the bike. SNAP!


Hearing the snap of my thumb I knew I would be in for a long wait at the doctors. Leaving the doctors with my thumb in a cast and a very long healing time, I have learnt my lesson to not get an extra push going down a hill. And always wear a helmet.

Swimming Sports



Swimming sports



Room 6 had a wonderful day at swimming sports. When we all went to the turf we split up into our houses. Thank you Sharon and parents for helping us with the non competitive swimming and competitive. Also thank you parents for coming along and supporting your children. Good shepherd students thank the teachers very warmly, as every year as they set up and prepare this event for us. I’m sure that every student enjoyed the event. I saw everyone compete with my own eyes and they all did well. The people who lost don’t have to be sad because they should be grateful they got a swim in the warm weather also because there’s always time and effort to improve.

Shine Week



Shine Week



shine week. We raise money to help people whose lives are affected domestic violence. In support we all wore orange clothes and brought a gold coin donation to help the charity. Here Tuesday was Shove Tuesday. We all had a great day in room 6. The festivities started with the burning of the ashes on the turf. This was a new and exciting experience that not many of us had seen before.



Later on during Religious Education we learnt more about Shove Tuesday and Lent. People used to get rid of all their luxury items such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs and milk by making pancakes. We were even able to enjoy some pancakes of our own. We all thought it was a great start to lent and we are looking forward to the Lenten season as we prepare for the death and resurrection of Jesus. We are the season of Lent and it is a time of preparation.

Ash Wensday




Ash Wednesday
Today was Ash Wednesday. We went to church and sang some hymns, got the ashes on our foreheads, sung happy birthday to a little girl starting school on her birthday! We then went up and got a blessing.
We did make an attempt to keep our ashes on our foreheads, but that was a fail due to swimming and itching it off. We had a good day and hope everyone else did to. During the lent season we have to remember to pray, alms giving and helping others. else did to. During the lent season we have to remember to pray, alms giving and helping others.



This year I am focusing on to help around the house and to not eat a lot of candy.
